Most Americans don’t think President Joe Biden or former president Donald Trump should run for president again in 2024, according to a YouGov and The Economist poll reported by Statista.
The survey, conducted July 2 through July 5, asked 1,493 adult Americans if Joe Biden or Donald Trump should run for president in the next election, set for Nov. 24, 2024. Of that number, 60% said Trump should not run, versus 57% for Biden.

Earlier this month, 41% of respondents of a different Statista poll said they thought Biden was “very weak.” The next most popular answer was “somewhat strong,” with 26% of respondents choosing that option.
Biden’s approval rating was 41% in June 2022, down from 56% in June 2021. In a recent Gallup poll, Generation Z (born 1997 to 2004) was found to have the highest drop in approval ratings. Just 39% of Generation Z approved of Biden, a drop of 21 percentage points since the first half of 2021, according to Statista.
While the pause may help those with student loans get some short-term financial relief, increasing inflation has weighed heavy on many Americans’ budgets. The average American has been squeezed by increasing inflation rates, with 89% of Americans reporting that their bills have increased because of inflation.
More recently, on April 26, Biden’s SECURE ACT 2.0 passed a House vote. This retirement bill, which is now on its way to the Senate, would give part-time employees 401(k) benefits and raise the minimum distribution age, which Biden said would help Americans save longer.
That same day, Biden made news after he released his first clemency list, which commuted the sentences of 75 nonviolent drug offenders and pardoned three others. Biden stated that the list was the most of many actions his staff would take to provide additional support for those reentering society after incarceration.
